Title: building bitcoin and pulls
Post by: ctoon6 on July 04, 2011, 11:34:23 AM
I want to build bitcoin from source and include a pull from git, i got ubuntu installed and git installed, but after that i'm lost lol.

I have never user ubuntu or linux in general before, i am however good in using the command prompt in windows, but not osx.

i got the terminal open in ubuntu and did "sudo apt-get install git" and i got git installed not even knowing what sudo or apt-get is.

then i tried "git https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git" and git git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git" and even "git checkout git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git"

i am soo noobish at this i will probably need instruction on how to build with the pull too. id like to compile for both windows and linux, if you can even do that.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/220

any help with be very much appreciated.

I believe bitcointools allows some limited import/export of keys, if that's what you need.

if you want to export your public addresses, you could use the tool I wrote to export addresses for import into my android wallet balance viewer.  There are binaries (and source) on the googlecode page here (http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinwallet/).  It only does public keys though, nothing private.
